Question

A grocer is going to sort 13.5 pounds of candy into bags weighing 0.75 pounds each. How much candy will be left over?

Answer 1

No candies will be left

Answer 2

Answer:

No extra candy will be left out.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The amount of candies being sorted = 13.5 pounds.

Now, as each bag weighs 0.75 pounds.

The number of bags used for all the candies = $\frac{13.5}{0.75}$ = 18

That is, the total number of bags used to sort the 13.5 pounds of candies is 18.

Since, all the candies are sorted in these 18 bags.

No extra candy will be left out.
